Local security company Beryllium Limited has launched a comprehensive internal investigation following the theft of between $15 million and $20 million from one of its trucks on Saturday, Oct. 11.
The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) is investigating a male employee believed to have taken the cash during a work assignment. According to sources, the employee was part of a three-member team collecting cash from the MegaMart store on Waterloo Road in St. Andrew. While two colleagues went inside the store, the driver remained in the vehicle. He allegedly removed his uniform, left his firearm behind, and fled with the cash.
In a statement Thursday, Beryllium said it is actively collaborating with the JCF to investigate the incident. “We are confident that, with the advanced investigative measures now in progress, there will be positive developments leading to the recovery of the assets and the apprehension of those responsible,” the company said.
The security firm assured clients and the public that the safety and integrity of its operations remain a top priority and that every effort is being made to resolve the matter swiftly.
